Advice to Old Men.

In the matter of advice, old men have
been neglected. Young men, girls,
married women and boys have all re-
ceived the philanthropic attention of
newspaper writers, but it seems that
no one has had time to drop few use
full hints to the man who has done so
much for the world. The following
suggestions are freely given:
Old men should be careful of their
health. They should not go to the
theatre in damp weather without a
shirt. 1t is also advisable to wear
something on the feet.
Old men will find it to their interest
not to remain on railroad track until
after a train has passed. Wellread
physicians now generally agree that
heavy freight trains, especially late at
night, are hard to digest.
Old men especially in a cold climate,
should not go in swimming until after
the first of January, nor recline on ice
in the evening.
An old man should marry young
woman. 1t teaches him that there is
nothing in life after all, and reconciles
him to death.
BY observing these and other rules,
some old men have attained great age.

"Sheridan's Ride"

Sheridan had left Washington on
the morning of Oct. 10, 1864, by
train, and passed the night Mt Win
chester, twenty miles north of the
battlefield. On the morning of the
10Th he heard the iiriug of cannon,
and sent out to inquire the cause, but
was told it came from reconnaissance.
At nine o'clock he rode leisurely out of
Winchester. not dreaming that his
army was in danger. After little.
he heard again the sound of heavy
guns, and now he knew what it must
mean. Not half mile from Winches-
ter he came upon the appalling marks
of defeat and rout. The runaways
from battle, still in flig.it. had got so
far rs this in their terror The trains
of wagons were rushing by. horses
and drivers all in confusion, for there
is no worse turmoil in tlis world than
the flight and wreck of Il beaten
army. Sheridan had never seen his
own men in this comd ton before.
He ut once ordered the trains to be
halted, and sent for Il brigade of
troops from Winchester; these he
posted across the road to prevent fur
Their Struggling. Then he called for
an escort of twenty men, aud, direct
ing his staff to stem the torrent rs
we'll as they could, he set of himself
for the battlefield He rode stra rat
into the throng offugitiyc,, in spicn-
did passion of wrath and dctcrnina-
ton, squirting his horse and SWING ny
his hat as he passed, ana eating To the
men: Face the other way, boys! Face
the other way!"
Hundreds turned at tie appeal, and
followed him with chcelS, for they all
knew Sheridan.
1t was ten o'clock before he reached
the field. There he rode about hur-
riedly, glanced at the pos ti,.i., and 1T
once determined upon his course. He
re-arranged the line of those who
were still unbeaten, and then went
back to bring up the panc-stricken re-
mainder. And now his presence aud
personal influence told He was in
the full uniform of major-general,
mounted on a magnificent black horse,
man and beast covered with dust and
ilecked with foam; he rose again in
his stirrups. he drew his sword, he
waved his hat, and shouted to his
soldiers: IF had been here, this
never would have happened. Face the
other way, boys! We are going
back
The flying soldiers were struck with
shame when they heard him shout and
saw his face blazing with rage and
courage and eagerness for them. They
took up his cry themselves, Face the
other wayr 1t went on from one to
another for miles from crowd to
crowd-and they obeved the com
mand. As the swelling shout went
on, the surging crowd returned. They
faced the other way. and, along the
very road which Il covering mob had
taken three hours before, the same
men marched, with the tread of sold
iers, 10 meet the enemy. They knew

The Lancet, referring to the death OF
Mr.. Mass, the well known tenor, calls
attention to the peril of sleeping in a
damp bed. As matter of fact, this
peril is of the greatest, and it is almost
ever present. The experienced traveller
rarely hazards the risks of sleeping be-
tween two sheets, which are nearly
sure to be damp, until they have been
aired under his personal supervision al
fire in his bedroom. If this be inn
practicable he wraps his rug around
him or pulls out the sheets and sleeps
between the blankets-a disagreeable
but often prudent expedient. The
direst mischief may result from the
contact of an imperfectly heated body
with sheets which retain moisture. The
body heat is not sufficient to raise the
temperature of the sheets to a safe
point, and the result must be disastrous
in the extreme If, as it is sure to hap
pen, the skin be cooled by contact with
a surface colder than itself and steadily
abstracting heat all the night through.
There is no use for the neglect OF
proper precaution to insure dry beds.
Servants are never to be trusted in this
matter, and the managers of hotels,
even of the best description, are singu.
larry careless in respect to it.

HIRED GIRLS.

The question of domestic servitude
is becoming very serious one and the
housckeepers are denouncing the
women servants right and left. Let
us suggest to them in good nature that
the word servant" is rather a harsh
term to apply to any one in republic.
We do not believe that anyone is any
bodvs servant in this country. Ger
tainly the girl who does work in your
home, often well born, is no more a
servant than is the clerk in your
store or office. OF course there are
many coarse and illiterate girls work
ing in kitchens as ''second helps or
even as seamstresses. But there are
also many estimable, refined girls, the
pride of intelligent parents and the
kind of work. And such girls are often
called servants" by snobs of both
sexes, who are without 1.-THE of their
real gentility or actual refinement. II
is the shoddy habit of calling all girls
who work out servants that is largely
to blame for making such work so nm
popular that the best of girls do not
wish to do it. They know all too well
that thoughtless people class all such
working people alike ranking the
refined, educated, well-bred girl with
the coarse, illiterate, ill-mannered, very
boor of girl and making no distinc-
ton between them. Thoughtful peo-
pie and fair minded people should think
of these things.
This brings us to what we consider
the great fault of the people employing
such services. No difference is made
between good girls, good cooks, tidy,
housekeepers, intelligent managers,
and their opposite 'greenies, who
know nothing about cooking slat-
terms, slovens. and nuisances. The
girl who does her work well. neatly,
and economically gets no more pay
than the blockhead who is terror and
nuisance from the time she comes in.

The Burning OF Chambersburg.

1t would be impossible for me to re-
late all of the remarkable incidents
which occurred among our own friends
and neighbors. A feeble old lady.
living opposite our house, was seated
in her arm chair when a soldier entered
and set fire to work basket near her.
1t was extinguished by her grandson
and again kindled. She must have
persisted in the flames but for the
timely arrival of her son, whose own
beautiful home was burning. He
carried her out. and, placing her in a
carriage, got into the shafts and drew
it out Of town. Another aged couple
were retained by the soldiers in their
house until too late to escape by the
street, and they were forced to sit in
the rear yard until the surrounding
buildings were consumed. A minister.

who was alone, abandoned his precious
load to the flames and just had time to
rescue her. I've always considered
that little act Of self denial as good .
sermon as any lost in the barrel.

The Queens Tobacco Pipe.

In the center of the tobacco ware
houses at the London docks there is an
immense kiln, which is kept continually
burning day and night, and goes by
the name OF the Queens tobacco pipe.
The English Government has a differ
ent way of treating contiscated articles
than that in use in this country, one of
them being to utilize them as fuel for
what is termed the Queens smoking.
Whenever merchandise is seized for
non-payment of duty or because it is
considered under the law as in a
damaged or unsuitable condition, it is
taken to this great kiln and is burned
there, the owners having no remedy.
The only utilization that is made OF
these seizures is from the sale of the
ashes from the furnace, which, to the
amount Of a great many tons month,
are sold by auction to chemical works
and To farmers and others to beused in
enriehing the soil There is a similar,
but smaller. Queens tobacco pipe in
the government tobacco warehouses

points OF destruction for all confiscated
merchandise ia the United Kingdom.

Miss Morris Remark.

Clara Morris is sometimes rather
frisky on the stage, says the Brooklyn
Union. While her own nerves and
those of her audience are at full ten
sion she will attempt to "break up"
her vis-a-vis with some Hippant re-
mark deity delivered. Before Miss
Mutton" was first produced at the
Union Square Theatre there was some
doubt as to its success, owing to the
similarity of the story to East
Lynne The eventful night came,
and the play progressed to the last
act-the death of the weary, worn
Miss Mutton. As she struggled in the
terrible stimulation of death, and while
the audience was stamping the play
with the seal of great success, the
actress turned to j. H. Stoddard, the
.'old man." and hastily whispered:
''Well, Gully, we've got 'em!"

CARE OF PRESERVED FRUIT.

Keeping fruit of any kind depends
on three things. 1t must be sound to
begin with A speck of decay or acid
change will develop ferment in n
kettle of fruit. Second. the jars or
cans must be air tight. The object Of
steaming the fruit is to expel the air and
arrest the changes in the juice, which
would naturally proceed to ferment
Air penetrates in finer ways than we
can discern and needs much less than
the crevice of hair or u pins point to
enter and spoil the contents. Glass
that is free from cracks or air-bubbles,
well-glaZed stOncware free from flaws,
yellow-ware, or strong, dark earthcn
jars will keep the fruit from the air,
provided it is sealed with putty, wax,
or bladder soaked and left to shrink on
the mouth of the jars. Cans with
screw tops and rubber rings are apt to
have slight defects which prevent per-
feet sealing and cannot be depended
on without wax.
Third, the jars must be kept in dry,
dark, cool place, very little above
freezing. A shelf in furnace-warmed
store-room opening from kitchen
is not the place to preserve fruit. It
may be put up in the best manner and
yet spoil through keeping in the light
or where it is not cool. Glass cans
should be wrapped in paper, buried in
sand or sawdust, or kept in dark
closet. Packed with plenty of chatf,
dry sand, or sawdust, or dry sifted
ashes most preserves will stand freez-
ing weather without injury, but each
can needs at least six inches of nom
conducting material about it on all
sides for protection. A pit one side
of the cellar, dug below the reach of
frost and lined with boards, with straw,
or ashes between them and its
walls, will keep preserves from heat
ing or freezing. A pit dug in the cellar
four feet below the level of its floor,
well drained and lined as above, will
prove the best place for keeping small
quantities of preserves, enough for a
single family.
